5-2-1-Almost None
The initial focus of the SCHPC is to promote healthy eating and physical activity for children, youth and their families.
The SCHPC has adopted the 5-2-1-Almost None prescription for health promoted by Nemours Health and Prevention Services as its major campaign.
5-2-1-Almost None states that when people engage in the following behaviors, their overall health improves:
- Eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily;
- Receive no more than 2 hours of screen time per day;
- Participate in at least 1 hour of physical activity per day;
- Drink Almost No sugary beverages
The SCHPC is a Nemours Health and Prevention Services initiative in collaboration with the citizens of Sussex County.
